"Today We Go Home shines an illuminating light on history and the
female soldiers who have served this country from the Civil War to
Afghanistan today. Kelli Estes passionately brings the past to life,
interweaving the story of two women from different centuries whose
journey towards hope is timeless."—GWENDOLYN WOMACK, USA Today
bestselling author of The Fortune Teller and The Time Collector In
this evocative work of historical fiction, USA Today bestselling
author Kelli Estes pairs two military women who—in the Civil War and
Afghanistan—share determination, honor, and a call to serve the
United States, no matter the cost. Seattle, Washington: Larkin Bennett
has always known her place, whether it's surrounded by her loving
family in the lush greenery of the Pacific Northwest or conducting a
dusty patrol in Afghanistan. But all of that changed the day tragedy
struck her unit and took away everything she held dear. Soon after the
disaster, Larkin discovers an unexpected treasure—the diary of Emily
Wilson, a young woman who disguised herself as a man to fight for the
Union in the Civil War. As Larkin struggles to heal, she finds herself
drawn deeply into Emily's life and the secrets she kept. Indiana,
1861: The only thing more dangerous to Emily Wilson than a rebel
soldier is the risk of her own comrades in the Union Army discovering
her secret. But, as the war marches on and takes its terrible toll,
Emily begins to question everything she thought she was willing to
risk her life for. Historical fiction fans of Marie Benedict, Beatriz
Williams, and Kate Quinn will be inspired by this story of two women
in militaries, separated by centuries, but united in hope and dignity.
